Reddish Vice President & CFO For Immediate Release (530) 898-0300 TRICO BANCSHARES ANNOUNCES 3rd QUARTER EARNINGS FOR 2003 -------------------------------------------------------- Chico, CA - October 23, 2003. TriCo Bancshares (NASDAQ: TCBK), parent company of Tri Counties Bank, today announced quarterly earnings of $4,338,000, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2003. These results represent an 8.0% increase from the $0.50 earnings per diluted share reported for the three months ended September 30, 2002 on earnings of $3,627,000. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $1.57 and $1.44, respectively, on earnings of $12,205,000 and $10,320,000, respectively. Included in the results ended September 30, 2003 was the effect of the Company's acquisition of North State National Bank on April 4, 2003. On April 4, 2003, North State National Bank had assets of $140 million, loans totaling $77 million, and deposits totaling $126 million. The Company issued $13,090,057 in cash, 723,512 shares of TriCo common stock, and options to purchase 79,587 TriCo common shares at an average exercise price of $6.22 per share in exchange for all of the 1,234,375 common shares and options to purchase 79,937 common shares of North State National Bank outstanding as of April 4, 2003. The improvement in results from the year-ago quarter was due to a $2,549,000 (18.9%) increase in fully tax-equivalent net interest income to $16,069,000, and a $550,000 (78.6%) decrease in provision for loan losses to $150,000. These contributing factors were partially offset by a $207,000 (3.8%) decrease in noninterest income to $5,206,000, and a $1,916,000 (15.8%) increase in noninterest expense to $14,049,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Richard Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer commented that, "The quarter ended September 30, 2003 was a very good quarter for our Company. The hard work of our team members and the acceptance of our line of products and services by our marketplace continue to provide strong asset and customer account growth. This growth allowed us to continue to improve earnings despite the recent slowdown in mortgage banking activities. In addition, during this quarter we dramatically reduced the level of nonperforming assets." During the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company's net interest margin was 5.24% and 5.67%, respectively, on interest-earning asset balances averaging $1.23 billion and $955 million, respectively. The 28% increase in the average balance of interest earning assets more than offset the decrease in net interest margin resulting in an increase in fully tax equivalent net interest income of $2,549,000 (18.9%) to $16,069,000. Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2003 decreased $207,000 (3.8%) to $5,206,000 from $5,413,000 in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in noninterest income from the year-ago quarter was mainly due to a $673,000 (93%) decrease in mortgage banking noninterest income to $51,000 from $724,000 in the year-ago quarter. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2003 increased $1,916,000 (15.8%) to $14,049,000 from $12,133,000 in the third quarter of 2002. The increase in noninterest expense was mainly due to an increase in salary and benefit expense (up $1,116,000 or 17.6% to $7,460,000). The increase in salary and benefits expense was mainly due to annual salary increases, increased commission and incentive expense, and new employees at four new branches the Company opened during 2002 and from the merger with North State National Bank on April 4, 2003. Other noninterest expense, including intangible amortization, increased (up $800,000 or 13.8% to $6,589,000) due to the new branch openings in 2002 and the merger with North State. Nonperforming loans net of government agency guarantees were $6,072,000, $20,539,000, $8,180,000, and $11,031,000 as of September 30, 2003, June 30, 2003, December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2002, respectively. As of September 30, 2003, December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2002, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.45%, 2.09% and 2.10%, respectively. As of September 30, 2003, December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2002, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming assets was 177%, 158% and 130%, respectively. Based on the current conditions of the loan portfolio, Management believes that the $13,460,000 allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2003 is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. The Company provided $150,000 for loan losses in the third quarter of 2003 versus $700,000 in the third quarter of 2002. This decrease in the provision for loan losses was due to improved credit quality as evidenced by the reduction in nonperforming loans, and the adequacy of the loan loss reserve as evidenced by the increase in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming assets. During the third quarter of 2003, the Company recorded $145,000 of net loan charge offs versus $68,000 of net loan recoveries in the year earlier quarter. Assets of the Company at September 30, 2003 were $1.44 billion compared to $1.07 billion at September 30, 2002. Loan balances at September 30, 2003 were $930 million compared to $684 million at September 30, 2002, and deposit balances at September 30, 2003 were $1.20 billion compared to $938 million at September 30, 2002. For the third quarter of 2003, the Company had an annualized return on assets of 1.25% and a return on equity of 14.09% versus 1.39% and 15.17%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2002. As of September 30, 2003, TriCo Bancshares had a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.7%. As previously announced on July 31, 2003, the Company terminated its stock repurchase plan to repurchase 150,000 shares of common stock originally announced on October 19, 2001. There were 118,800 shares repurchased under the plan and the remaining 31,200 shares had not been repurchased. The Company has adopted a new stock repurchase plan for the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock from time to time as market conditions allow. The 250,000 shares authorized for repurchase under this plan represented approximately 3.2% of the Company's approximately 7,852,000 common shares outstanding as of July 31, 2003. This new plan has no stated expiration date for the repurchases. The Company repurchased 8,100 common shares under this new plan, all of which were repurchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2003.
